hi fellas,
First off; sorry for wall of text.. but I need guidance - I've got a new rig, and obviously need new ram for it. currently only have 1333 c7 ram in it, want newer and faster and better.
I'm gunning for 16GB to make sure I don't have to upgrade within a few years. I mainly use my rig for BF4 in ultra settings, but I also do some rendering and video editing and other bizz...
anyhoo - I'm rambling on... - Which memory kit to get?
I've been reading up on tCL vs frequency - and by this table I got a little more confused, but found out that the sweetspot on haswell seems to be around 2133 C9 ..
however - people also advice me, to find ram at 1.5 Voltage, since this is what's recommended by Intel for Haswell - meaning, that I'ld have to "settle" with an 1866 mem kit.
My setup is:
i4770K
Z87 Sabertooth
Corsair H100i cooling,
Evo 840 250gb ssd
XFX Black Edt. HD7970
particularly I've set my eyes on these 2 gems:
2 kits of (2 x 2x4GB) :
1 kit of (2x8GB):
Ideally there is no budget constraints… however - I'ld prefer to not to spend 40-50$ for a 1-3% performance gain from on or another.
I have no specific plans on over clocking but am not dismissing it complete either..
hope someone has a few cents to spare - thanks in advance

the later 2133 kit, is 1.6V - will this have any impact? Even if cpu-fan is Intel-stock?
